THAT'S MY GIRL

Five in the afternoon after class Maddox invited me to our campus man-made forest, which I agreed to instantly. Nothing changes as we settle in the middle of the park, the spot that we love. Birds' tweets are like beautiful songs in my ears; they exude tranquility. While the green leafy trees and grass give healing to my eyes after a whole day of almost confining myself in our room and studying for the incoming exams.

"Thanks for joining me here today Angel, I really appreciate your time."

"No problem, you know how much I love this place. This is the only spot that I love on this campus. Well, I can add the basketball court; I love watching you play there, you know."

"You do?" Maddox sounds uncertain.

"Of course."

Maddox cracks and runs his fingers through his hair. "Alright, that's another motivation."

"Are you guys not having practice today? Sports week is so close."

"No, and it's a good thing 'cause I wanna talk to you," Maddox said, hunching one shoulder.
